Winner of the 2022 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play and named one of the best plays of 2022 by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vulture and Time Out New York, A Case of The Existence of God is both intimate and expansive - exploring themes of human connection, financial insecurity, parenthood, and what is possible when we truly open up to someone else.
Ryan is a straight, white, recently divorced factory worker while Keith is gay, black, the single caretaker of a foster daughter and a mortgage broker. When Ryan seeks Keith's help to secure a loan and buy back land that his family lost, the two men discover they share "a specific kind of sadness" and unexpectedly choose to bring one another into their fragile worlds.
Infused with empathy, humour, and heart-wrenching honesty, Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) graces audiences with what is possible when we seek common ground and embrace our shared humanity.
